DEVICE FUNCTIONS
EXTENDING YOUR BATTERY LIFE
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage,
and GPS functionality all act to drain your battery.
The following is a list of helpful tips that can help
conserve your battery power:
● Reduce your backlight on time.
● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
● Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most
applications using this function will periodically
query the GPS satellites for your current location;
each query drains your battery.
● Do not wait until your battery is completely
depleted before charging your device. Repeating
this process of a complete discharge and recharge
can over time reduce the storage capacity of any
battery.
● Turn off Automatic application sync.

● Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate
hardware functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
● Check the Battery use screen to review what
features or functions have been consuming your
battery resources.
● Check the Running Services and close any
unnecessary applications.
● Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown
background applications that are still running.
These minimized applications can, over time, cause
your device to “slow down”.
● Animated wallpapers use processing power,
memory, and more power. Change your Live
Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or
Gallery image.
